PROJECT: A row of terraced traditional London grade 2 listed townhouses were linked together, and altered to create approximately 250 self-contained studio apartments/micro flats for rental with a serviced facility.
The scheme involved new boiler room and plant rooms and extensive mechanical electrical infrastructure. The studios included a kitchen, bathroom, sky TV, air-conditioning, serviced laundry and cleaning facility, furniture and furnishings, all bills included and other general facilities.
CLIENT: joint venture scheme involving investors, developer, contractor and architect.
CONTRACT VALUE: the project was carried out in phases with a total value of approximately £10 MILLION.
SERVICES: FES was engaged by the contractor and developer arm to assist with cost control and cost management and provide a macro project management function.
Based upon FES reports to the managing director a 'site to head office feedback mechanism' was implemented to pick up variations so that these can be recorded, costed and agreed, and the value included under the contract.
FES identified that the site was over resourced with Labour in relation to the amount and value of work, and therefore this was reduced from in excess of 120 men to below 100 resulting in approximately £50,000 per month saving in labour costs.
After a fire incident on site, FES successfully achieved a 100% full payout from the insurance company of £250,000 based upon our valuation and recommendation provided to the managing director. This was approximately double the initial estimate by the managing director.
We also assisted the contractor with costing, validating and agreeing some of the contract award sums with the investors/developers independent chartered quantity surveyor.
